Complaint Review: US Weekly - North Shore Agency

I paid for a one year subscription to US Weekly, but they added an additional year. When I refused to pay for the additional year subscription, they sent me to the North Shore Agency, Inc (an alledged collection agency). I received the most condescending collection notice stating, "Be realistic. You don't get something for nothing... It's not the way it works and you know that."

I am very confused why a magazine subscription would be sent to a collection agency instead of canceling the subscription. I even called US Weekly and canceled the subscription at the end of the year that I had paid for, and still received this letter.

In response I wrote to both North Shore and US Weekly stating that if this matter was not resolved I would contact Better Business Bureau and possibly taking legal action.

I am not happy about this, and I hope other people speak up also.
